Going back to my days at Keystone/Philadelphia Park, these conditions were always close to impossible for the track super. As Bello noted, with racinos there's no longer a need to force the track to run on days like this. Of course safety is paramount, but for us handicappers, these thawing conditions do lead to extreme biases at times and lots of bet-back opportunities, so from a selfish perspective racing on those days was often lucrative.
